A sombre PM said he paid tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the Pulwama attack. "Our security forces have been given full freedom. Humare suraksha balon ko purn swatantra de di gayi hai. Logon ka khoon khaul raha hai, yeh main samajh raha hun. I understand people are upset.

"We have full faith in their bravery. The forces behind this act of terrorism and those responsible for it, will be definitely be punished.

"I thank all the nations who have supported us and condemned this incident in the strongest of terms.

"A strong reply will be given to this attack. If our neighbour which is totally isolated in the world thinks it can destabilise India through its tactics and conspiracies, then it is making a big mistake."
